You have an Exchange Server 2013 organization that contains two servers named EX1 and EX2. EX1
and EX2 are the members of a database availability group (DAG) named DAG1. EX1 and EX2 each
contain a copy of a mailbox database named DB1. DB1 is configured to retain deleted items for 120
days. At the end of each month, the mailbox databases on EX1 are backed up to tape. The monthly
backups are retained for two years. A user named User1 has a mailbox in DB1. User1 discovers that a
mailbox folder that contained important email messages was deleted more than six months ago. You
need to recover the deleted mailbox folder without affecting any other users who have mailboxes in
DB1. Which three actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
Choose three.)

A.
Run the New-MaiboxRestoreRequestcmdlet.

B.
Run the New-MailboxDatabasecmdlet and specify the Recovery parameter.

C.
Restore DB1 from the tape backup to an alternate location.

D.
Restore DB1 from the tape backup to the database’s original location.

E.
Run the New-Mailbox cmdlet and specify the Recovery parameter.

Explanation:
Recovery Database
A recovery database is a special kind of mailbox database that allows you to mount a restored
mailbox database and extract data from the restored database as part of a recovery operation. You
can use the New-MailboxRestoreRequest cmdlet to extract data from a recovery database. After
extraction, the data can be exported to a folder or merged into an existing mailbox. Recovery
databases enable you to recover data from a backup or copy of a database without disturbing user
access to current data.
A
New-MaiboxRestoreRequestcmdlet
Use the New-MailboxRestoreRequest cmdlet to restore a soft-deleted or disconnected mailbox. This
cmdlet starts the process of moving content from the soft-deleted mailbox, disabled mailbox, or any
mailbox in a recovery database into a connected primary or archive mailbox.
For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Syntax.
EXAMPLE 1
To create a restore request, you must provide the DisplayName, LegacyDN, or MailboxGUID for the
softdeleted or disabled mailbox. This example uses the Get-MailboxStatistics cmdlet to return the
DisplayName, LegacyDN, MailboxGUID, and DisconnectReason for all mailboxes on mailbox database
MBD01 that have a disconnect reason of SoftDeleted or Disabled.
Get-MailboxStatistics -Database MBD01 | Where { $_.DisconnectReason -eq “SoftDeleted” -or $_.
DisconnectReason -eq “Disabled” } | Format-List LegacyDN, DisplayName, MailboxGUID,
DisconnectReason
This example restores the source mailbox with the MailboxGUID 1d20855f-fd54-4681-98e6-
e249f7326ddd on mailbox database MBD01 to the target mailbox with the alias Ayla.
New-MailboxRestoreRequest -SourceDatabase “MBD01” -SourceStoreMailbox 1d20855f-fd54-4681-
98e6-e249f7326ddd -TargetMailbox Ayla
B
Use the New-MailboxDatabase cmdlet to create a mailbox database object in the database container
in Active Directory.
For information about the parameter sets in the Syntax section below, see Syntax.
EXAMPLE 1
This example creates the mailbox database MailboxDatabase01. This example also specifies where
to create the .edb database file, which is different than the default location.
New-MailboxDatabase -Name “MailboxDatabase01” -EdbFilePath
D:\DatabaseFiles\MailboxDatabase01.edb
The Recovery parameter specifies that the new database is designated as a recovery database.
NOT D

Need to recover data from a backup or copy of a database without disturbing user access to current
data.
Therefore restore to an alternate location.
NOT E
No recovery parameter exists for the New-Mailbox cmdlet.
